Local pros for newcomers
Local help for your Birmingham move.
Birmingham Move Guide is an independent relocation guide — not a brokerage or an agency. As local pros agree to be listed, they appear here with the areas they serve and a link to their own site, so you can compare and contact them directly.

Free share kit
Built for the way you already work: one tap, your name on something useful.
Your relocating clients are researching Birmingham right now — usually weeks before they call anyone. This kit lets you be the agent who handed them the good stuff first: a genuinely useful checklist, ready to post. The buttons below share the checklist itself (not an ad for us), the picture is made for you, and the captions are written the way you'd say it to a client. Free, optional, two minutes — your listing is yours either way.
1. Save the picture. Press and hold it (phone) or right-click it (computer) and save. Post it anywhere — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or your newsletter.
2. Pick a caption — written for your clients, copy as-is:
Moving to Birmingham, Alabama? Here's the checklist I wish every relocating client had on day one — what to do before the move, the week of, and in your first 30 days, plus honest suburb, cost-of-living, and commute guides. Free, and you can print the whole thing: https://birminghammoveguide.com/birmingham-moving-checklist
Know someone moving to Birmingham? Send them this free checklist — timelines, suburb comparisons, costs, and commutes, all in one place: https://birminghammoveguide.com/birmingham-moving-checklist #BirminghamAL #MovingToBirmingham
Relocating to the Birmingham area? This free local guide covers the suburbs, what things cost, commute times, and a step-by-step moving checklist — a solid first stop before the house hunt: https://birminghammoveguide.com/birmingham-moving-checklist
3. Or tap a button and the post writes itself:
Handing it to a client directly? Send them the checklist page — everything on it is free to read and print, no signup: birminghammoveguide.com/birmingham-moving-checklist. On Instagram, save the picture, paste a caption, and put that link in your bio or story.
For listed pros
The badge, for whoever runs your website.
Adding things to a website is a technical job, so skip this unless you have someone who does yours. If your listing is live on this page, they are welcome to add this badge to your website — it tells your visitors you are part of the guide's local pros page, and it links back here. It's optional, it's free, and you can remove it any time. A plain text link works just as well if you prefer: link the words "Birmingham Move Guide" to this page.
Copy and paste this code where you want the badge to appear:
<a href="https://birminghammoveguide.com/birmingham-local-pros"><img src="https://birminghammoveguide.com/img/bmg-local-pro-badge.png" alt="Listed on Birmingham Move Guide — Local Pros for Newcomers" width="320" height="100"></a>
Only use the badge while your listing is live on this page.
